Forbear:—to Thee—

Father and Judge of all, with fervent tongue

But in a gentler strain[125]

Of contemplation, by no sense of wrong

(Too quick and keen) incited to disdain

Of pity pleading from the heart in vain—[126]

To Thee—To Thee

Just God of christianised Humanity

Shall praises be poured forth, and thanks ascend,[127]

That thou hast brought our warfare to an end,
